China Glaze Ruby Pumps and a Holiday tag!

Saturday, December 1, 2012

I thought I'd kick-start the holiday season (it is December after all) with my favorite holiday polish, China Glaze Ruby Pumps. This one is a classic, and more of a re-swatch here on the blog, but I'm never happy with how it photographs so I keep trying!

Ruby Pumps is a deep ruby-red jelly base loaded with fine red glitter. It's incredibly sparkly and absolutely gorgeous. The glitter is so fine that it doesn't dry rough. As for opacity of this beauty, you can stop at two coats or add a third for a deeper red color, the jelly is very build-able.

Just look at that sparkle!

So pretty! This is my favorite polish for the holidays and I'll be wearing it extensively!

So many! I have no idea.

7
Where would you like to spend the holidays?
Up north in Michigan.

8
Have you ever made a snowman, snow furniture, or a snow angel?
Of course! When I was a kid we made so many snowmen. One time a friend and I made a gigantic snowball (it was larger than our 11 year old selves) and tried to move it from her house to mine across a very busy highway. Needless to say our parents weren't overly pleased. :)

What is the weirdest gift you have ever received?
During a white elephant party I'm pretty sure my mom and I ended up with a rubber chicken.

Whats your favorite holiday cookie?
Sugar cookies! Particularly from the recipe of an close family friend who passed away a few years back. We will never make them the same as he did but I always have to try.
